General Knowledge MCQs

Explanation

• Start at (0,0)
• Walk South 10 km: (0,-10)
• Turn left (facing East), walk 5 km: (5,-10)
• Turn left (facing North), walk 10 km: (5,0)
• Distance from start = 5 km

Explanation

• Using the letters R, A, P, I, only one meaningful word can be formed: PAIR
• No other valid English word can be formed using all four letters exactly once

Explanation

• Combining: E > D > A > B > C
• The highest scorer is E

Explanation

• B at origin (0,0)
• A is 40m South of B: A=(0,-40)
• C is 30m East of A: C=(30,-40)
• Distance BC = sqrt(30^2+40^2) = 50 m
• C lies to the South-East of B

Explanation

• MOUSE, KEYBOARD, and MONITOR are all computer peripherals/parts
• TELEVISION is not a computer component
• Hence TELEVISION is the odd one out

Explanation

• Combining: E > D > A > B > C
• The lowest scorer is C

Explanation

Using Pythagoras theorem: distance = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(36+64) = sqrt(100) = 10 km

Explanation

• BDF, HJL, and MOQ each follow a pattern of skipping one letter (a gap of 2)
• PRS does not follow this pattern (gap of 2 then 1)
• Hence PRS is the odd one out

Explanation

• Total children = Position from left + Position from right - 1
• = 5 + 8 - 1 = 12

Explanation

• Using formula
• 30H - 5.5M
• H=5, M=45
• 150 - 247.5
• = 97.5°
